[T]he Employment Density Study:
update[s] and determine[s] current job density parameters;
provide[s] current observed findings of FARs and building densities which could be
used to populate ZELDA;
offer[s] a basis or foundation from which policy officials can debate the implications of
various policy choices and the expectations of future density pattern assumptions. [From the document]

Our primary objective in this paper is to illustrate the differences in policy sensitive output between
existing "Trend-Delphi" methods of land use and transportation modeling and integrated land use and
transportation models. [From the document]

The basis for future land need
and demand is derived from a regional forecast of employment and household change.
The regional forecast is, in part, the supporting evidence for Metro's UGB decision
which is due to be finalized in December 2002. [From the document]

The Highway 217 Corridor Study is being completed in two phases.
The first phase developed and analyzed a wide range of multi-modal
alternatives. Based on this evaluation, the alternatives will be refined
to a smaller set that can be studied in more detail in the second
phase. Options will be evaluated based on how well they address the
study objectives in terms of travel performance, environmental and
neighborhood effects, fi nancial feasibility, and cost effectiveness. [From the document]

BRT Alternative:
faster and more reliable bus service through the use of transit
priority treatments;
signal priority and queue jumps at critical signalized intersections
to minimize delay;
high-level station amenities such as enhanced shelters, lighting and
benches;
operation on Highway 43, generally in mixed-use traffic. Streetcar Alternative:
improves travel time significantly between Lake Oswego and
Portland by extending the existing Portland Streetcar from SW
Lowell Street ... to downtown Lake
Oswego;
high-level station amenities such as enhanced shelters, lighting and
benches;
operates on the Willamette Shore Line right of way, SW Macadam
Avenue or parts of both;
mostly single-track design with short double-track sections to
improve reliability and travel time. [From the document]

Challenge Ahead:
business-as-usual rooted in the past;
different realities:
demographic,
housing preference,
increasing demand for "urbanity"
especially in suburbs;
energy constraints;
global shifts in financial markets;
new "business plan" is needed;
Metro once again leading the nation. [From the document]

This paper describes Metro’s
regional model and presents the empirical estimates and some results from our study. It is
shown that the Metro model contains reasonable parameter estimates and produces
forecast estimates within tolerable limits. [From the document]

economy. [From the document]

The proposed Trolley Trail will run along a historic corridor once used by a streetcar
line that operated between Portland and Oregon City.... acquired a 6-mile stretch of the historic rail corridor between downtown Milwaukie
and Gladstone. The trail connects with existing bike lanes in Milwaukie and
Gladstone and will complete an essential link in Metro's Regional Trail System.
When completed, the Trolley Trail and connecting trails will create a continuous 20-
mile loop connecting Portland, Milwaukie, Gladstone, Oregon City and Gresham. [From the Plan]

Abstract:

MCEDD looks to build more
relationships with entrepreneurs in the region; to take advantage of the businesses
already present in the region and work with them to improve their ability to prosper
here. After severe economic downturns from the loss of timber industry and other
natural resource-based jobs, MCEDD has concentrated on working with local
governments and entrepreneurs to benefit our region’s economy together. The result:
lower unemployment rates region wide, more jobs, and an improved quality of life. [From the document]

This document is intended to serve as the Comprehensive Economics Development Strategy (or CEDS) that is a required element of the federal Economic Development Administration regional economic development program. It also includes Oregon's 2005-2007 Regional Strategy, required for receipt of Oregon Lottery Regional and Rural Investment Funds. Since two sets of guidelines are involved, the Plan provides separate sections on each strategy.

This
Airport Master Plan Update is intended to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the Airport,
and result in a well-conceived, long-term facilities and operational plan for accommodating the
anticipated future aviation demand. The future requirements will be evaluated not only from
the standpoint of aviation needs, but also in consideration of the relationship of airport facilities
to the surrounding land uses and the community as a whole. This planning document will focus
on a complete and comprehensive aviation facility, with the overall goal being facilities
development that can accommodate future demand that is not significantly constrained by its
environs. [From the Plan]

The Port Transportation Improvement Plan is a multimodal compilation of marine
terminal, road, rail, waterway, transit, bicycle, and pedestrian projects, normally
identified through transportation and other studies managed by or in coordination
with the Port. The plan also identifies a transportation demand management
prrogram to be implemented. The plan is designed to organize transportation and
transportation-related improvement needs. [From the Plan]

The Hillsboro Airport Master Plan study was undertaken to
evaluate the airport's capabilities and role, to forecast future
aviation demand, and to plan for the timely development of
new or expanded facilities that may be required to meet that
demand. The ultimate goal of the Master Plan was to provide
systematic guidelines for the airport's overall maintenance,
development, and operation. [From the Plan]

This technical memorandum summarizes the aviation demand forecasts prepared for
the 2010 Portland International Airport Master Plan Update. This technical
memorandum also provides historical data on the regional population and economy,
aviation activity at PDX, and national aviation and economic trends—all of which were
the basis for the aviation demand forecasts presented in this document. [From the document]

This technical memorandum presents an inventory of existing conditions (Inventory)
related to the role of Portland International Airport (the Airport, or PDX) within the
region, its current operations and facilities, and surrounding land uses and activities. [From the document]

The Port and the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) initiated a Master
Plan Update project in 2006. An Airport
Master Plan is a 20-year guide that outlines
how the physical development of an airport
can satisfy aviation demand in a safe,
efficient, fiscally responsible way, while
remaining compatible with the environment,
community development, other modes of
transportation, and other airports. [From the Plan]

The magnitude of regional
transportation access investments and their financing are addressed in
Metro's Regional Transportation Plan,Metro's Transportation Improvement
Program (MTIP) and the State Transportation Improvement Plan (STIP).
Access needs critical to Port facilities are reflected in the Port Transportation
Improvement Plan (PTIP). [From the Plan]
